In the eighth novel featuring the feisty seventh-grade sleuth, Sammy Keyes discovers just how dangerous art can be! Trouble begins for Sammy when she attends a fancy reception at an art gallery (wearing high-tops, of course) and tackles a gun-wielding art burglar. Although she stops the criminal, the real crime is more subtle, more artful than anything Sammy has been up against. With a little help from her gutsy grandmother, however, the determined detective unravels this entertaining, thoughtful mystery that proves to be one of the best Sammy Keyes books to date!
